The cropmarks of a small Roman temporary camp have been recorded by aerial photography near the SW angle of the Inchtuthil plateau. It measures 119m by 79m, and at no point on the perimeter has a gap for an entrance been recorded. Although not securely dated, a Flavian date must be presumed from its context, and it has been suggested by Pitts and St Joeph that it may be the bivouac of an independent auxiliary force, perhaps a cavalry ala, which arrived at Inchtuthil after the large labour-camp had been laid out.
